We are definitely back on track with Jonathan's sleeping. He got up around 9:15 today. After a nice hearty breakfast of strawberries, blueberries, bananas, grapes, and cereal, we got on our way to the Newark Museum. It was a Christmas gift from my Uncle Ed and family, so we thought we'd try it out today! It's great, although parking is $7. ugh. We got there a few minutes before they opened, and Jonathan entertained all the docents with his waving and "hi!" They have a cute little zoo and an Explore Earth center that Jonathan really got a kick out of. We strolled through some of the more traditional museum stuff: ancient artifacts from Africa and Native Indians, portrait gallery, nature paintings, none of which was nearly as exciting for him. We even had a snack in their cafe, which is closed temporarily. We'll definitely go back on cold and/or rainy days; there's plenty more to see/do.
I knew we were done when Jonathan started asking for his paci! So, we hightailed it home, and he's down for a long nap. I've been doing some household chores. I ran out of chores before he woke up, so I even got some vegging time at the TV for once!!! He finally woke up just before 5, and he had lunch. I'm thinking I need to flip lunch and nap so that he's eating lunch at a more normal time. We goofed around for a little bit, and then rushed to get dressed for the cold to get Dave. I pulled out the wagon, and Jonathan freaked out in joy!! He loves that wagon. I strapped him in, covered his legs with a blanket, wrapped his face with my scarf, and off we went. He loved it. Now, the boys are playing with toys in his room while I wrack my brain for dinner ideas.
